GovSat: Government satellite communications - a thriving business in Luxembourg | #Space #Europe  | Luxembourg (Europe) | Scoop.it

Less than three years after its creation, GovSat -- a public-private joint venture between the government and satellite operator SES -- is ready to put Luxembourg on the space map.

The commercial venture is targeting governments and defence users looking for secure communication services when deploying military operations, responding to humanitarian crisis, peace-keeping or engaging in situational awareness missions.

GovSat is in the process of building its first military satellite GovSat-1, with the geostationary satellite designed to use X-band and military Ka-band frequencies on high-power and fully steerable mission beams to support multiple operations.

And the service behind GovSat will be entirely run from a secure location in Luxembourg, with up to 15 people to be employed before the year-end.

While the venture is an initiative entirely "made in Luxembourg", GovSat aims to be part of an international network, collaborating with European Defense Agencies and with members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO).
